Core is a live streaming cloud service that offers network bonding, multi-streaming, cloud device management, point to point professional workflows and more. In this tutorial, we will introduce you to the Core user interface.
Note that we have added a modular UI feature, which you can use to customize the UI to fit your needs. You can learn about it in this document.
The functions of Core are grouped into tabs.
